"The property had a restaurant attached to it that was amazing, and the staff was excellent very helpful in helping us find parking getting into the hotel and just accommodating in every way that we needed"
"A lovely small hotel in the historical area of Braga.
It is located within walking distance of the railway station and the bus station. The bus station operates an hourly airport transfer bus to Porto International for 9 euros (one way).
This hotel provides great base to explore Braga’s historical sites and many good restaurants.
We were greeted upon arrival by smart professional staff who made us feel welcome and were happy to help us plan our site seeing trips.
Our standard room was clean and spacious, we were at the side of the hotel so there was not a lot of natural light or street views, but it was very quiet and peaceful. The bed was comfortable and spacious. The bathroom had a bath and shower over bath.
We did not dine at the hotel so cannot comment on the food.
We would recommend this hotel for a short stay in the beautiful City of Braga."
